Life has settled for a moment

I haven't had time to write on this blog until now. Life has been hectic being a mother of two. First we were in and out of Kaiser for a variety of reasons. But thankfully Julian is all better. No more jaundice, he's gaining weight, his TB x-ray came out normal, and breast feeding is going as well as it can be. I wanted to solely breast feed Julian, but he is just so hungry that sometimes I have to supplement him with breast milk or formula. But my husband reminded me that this is more breast milk than our first son ever got.

We've been using Seventh Generation diapers for a month now and have come to realize that I will use whatever diapers people buy for us. Seventh Generation diapers are not easily available. In fact, the only place you can buy them is at Babies R Us, if they are in stock. Plus with two children in diapers it is now more about how we can save money.

Another topic -- the Republican Vice Presidential candidate. I guess she gets her props for surviving all the media attacks. Yet, I can't understand how a mother of 5 with her youngest being 4 months old can go and campaign. 4 months old is really young. I don't want to return to work and send Julian to daycare at 3 months, but unlike Palin, I don't have a choice. Our government only gives mothers 12 weeks of maternity leave. If the government offered 6 months of maternity leave, I would take the entire 6 months to bond with my son.

There is so much to blog about, but my brain is just so scattered. I think I need sleep.
